What is our aim? And what means do we choose to reach our aim? What do we truly believe that we must do to reach our aim? We all want happiness, peace, love, joy, safety, and freedom. In reality, we have all we want, but just don’t realize it. We have chosen not to see and experience what we want because we have chosen to believe something else. We have chosen to believe that we must attain these things, and so must do some thing or some things to experience them.
We all are pursuing the same aim, so what are our means for attaining those aims? For how we choose to achieve those aims is the key to actually experiencing them. The means must be consistent with the aim. It’s so simple, but we tend to miss it. If we use unpeaceful, unloving, unjoyful, threatening, and limiting means to achieve love, peace, joy, safety, and freedom, we can’t possibly experience them while we are believing in and experiencing means to the contrary of the aim. Can we just stop a moment and observe what we are doing?
The Course says that giving and receiving are the same. Would it not make sense to believe that giving peace and using peaceful means would achieve the aim of peace? It is the same with happiness, love, joy, safety, and freedom. As we align the means we use with our aim, we allow that which we really want to become manifest in our life. Soon we are experiencing the very things we desire as we use them as a means to achieve our desire. It comes from within us; from within all of us. It is the totality of Heaven within us. All of creation reflects it back to us, allowing us to see it for ourselves.
The light we bring from within us transforms our brother and sister and, in turn, transforms us. It shines brightly and the darkness retreats into nothingness at its light. No more need we be fearful or limited. Our willingness to bring the light of Heaven with us brings the light of truth to our mistakes as we walk beyond the world of darkness into light. And thus all of our mistakes are brought to the light of truth and fade into nothingness. Be love and achieve love. Be peace and achieve peace. Be joy and experience joy. Be safety and freedom and experience safety and freedom. Be who you want to be; the real One you are, always have been and always will be.
